IPMI and bge (again)

Doug,

I tried your patch (as well as one from you on 1/13/2006) on FreeBSD
6.1-RC2 but experienced hard lockups. It happens during startup right
after setting the hostname, right before it would normally bring up the
interface I believe.

This is on four different servers, all Supermicro motherboards (H8DAR
and H8DAE) based on the Broadcom BCM5704 chip.

Here is the pciconf -lv:

bge0 at pci2:3:0:  class=0x020000 card=0x164815d9 chip=0x164814e4 rev=0x10
hdr=0x00
    vendor   = 'Broadcom Corporation'
    device   = 'BCM5704 NetXtreme Dual Gigabit Adapter'
    class    = network
    subclass = ethernet
bge1 at pci2:3:1:  class=0x020000 card=0x164815d9 chip=0x164814e4 rev=0x10
hdr=0x00
    vendor   = 'Broadcom Corporation'
    device   = 'BCM5704 NetXtreme Dual Gigabit Adapter'
    class    = network
    subclass = Ethernet

Any ideas? If you need any more information or have other patches I can
test for you, let me know!
